[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1051965, member: 6064"] "Upper to lower fit is completely irrelevant to function or accuracy" Lilly'sDad True to a point, as long as the rear of the receivers line up fairly well, If they don't you can wear the heck out of the buffer tube/lower receiver ring...just like the piston guns do. Or the bolt carrier can bang into, or drag on the sides of the buffer tube causing malfunctions. As long as when you rack the bolt back by hand you don't feel any bind or drag, you are adequate to travel (the new ATAS way to say "Good to Go"). We got an Armalite one time that was REAL loose at the same place you mention. Everything else was good with the gun so we made a shim out of a pop can just to stop the rattle, but it functioned flawlessly either way. [/QUOTE]
